Domestic Homicide Review

​When someone has been killed as a result of domestic violence, a multi-agency review is carried out. Professionals who have not been involved in the case must review what happened so that we can identify what needs to be changed to reduce the risk of it happening again in the future.

If a domestic homicide takes place in Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire Police will make sure the right people in the Community Safety Partnership are told as quickly as possible. After this initial notification, a decision will be made about whether we need to have a Domestic Homicide Review using the Home Office guidance.

The Community Safety Partnership, is made up of:

Cheshire West and Chester Council

Cheshire Police

Cheshire Fire and Rescue

Clinical Commissioning Group

National Probation Service

Cheshire and Manchester Community Rehabilitation Company

Each responsible authority is represented on Cheshire West and Chester Community Safety Partnership and formspart of the Domestic Homicide Review Panel.
